Arcade & Attica Railroad (New York)

Arcade & Attica Railroad - Arcade, New York Photos from October 2012 & August 2014 featuring 2-8-0 #18 (Alco built 1920) with passenger and freight trains along nine miles of the Arcade & Attica Railroad. The A&A began in 1917 as a shortline freight railroad in Western New York. As traffic declined in the late 1950s, the railroad aimed to supplement freight revenue with steam-powered passenger trains. Excursions began in 1962 following the purchase of engine #18 from the Boyne City Railroad in Michigan. Fifty years later, the A&A is now the last operating steam railroad in New York State.
